Actually, no one has resumed their "hacking" after I launch my anti-hacking
script.
I'm happy with my method.

They can try, none have succeeded so far. They're script kiddies / bots anyway.

I personally run sshd in pubkey auth mode only, and when I see login =

You'd still be beter off running it on a non-standard port. Also, doing
onto others as they do on to you should be reserved only for good tasks;
bombing the source is a good way to get them to really go after you and
your systems.
